Episode 42: Eyes in Orbit: Space Situational Awareness

  • Summary

  • Keeping track of satellites requires space situational awareness (SSA). But how does one acquire this information, and how subjective is the data that we receive?

    Sean Goldsborough, Business Leader at Raytheon NORSS, talks to us about the art of satellite tracking.

    We discuss the difference between SSA and space domain awareness (there is a distinction!), how the technology underlies military applications, and how the data available could potentially be used for nefarious purposes – for example, by disguising the real nature of objects in space.
